The Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail limited particularly has an impact on my lifestyle.
Pantaloons and Lifestyle are one of the most known names in the fashion industry in India.
For a girl one of the most important parts of her life is her wardrobe. Aditya Birla Group’s
Pantaloons has always been my go to place. The fashion retail store of Aditya Birla Group has
always been close to my heart. The kind of apparels they have, latest trends, top brands have

Also Lifestyle from Aditya Birla group has added a lot to my wardrobe. Brands like Lee cooper,
Van Huesen, Forever 21, Allen Solly and Louis Philippe have been my favorite brands. These
two stores I have been visiting since my childhood, the variety of brands available are very
trendy and affordable. For a person like me who is a big time shopaholic Pantaloons and
Lifestyle are a major part of my life.
“Fall down seven times, gets up eight”.
Following are lines that I abide by in life. No matter how difficult it becomes to get out of a
situation I always find a way or the other to get out of it. There comes many times in your life
when you feel low, but the best part about it is that it makes you stronger than before. There is a
saying “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger”.
It was the time of my final year in graduation when almost all of my friends were busy grabbing
a job after Engineering I decided to change my stream and wanted to go for MBA. I had to take
a year break to study for my CAT exam which I was least sure I will be able to crack it. The last
time when I sat for CAT, I couldn’t score enough marks to get into even a below average
Management School. My family and I were highly disappointed but taking another chance with
no guarantee was a big challenge for me. When all my friends had already started earning well
the fear of being left behind was constantly hitting me. What if I don’t get a good college this
time as well? This was the question going on in my head 24*7 but then I believed my gut and
started preparing for my exam day in and out. I worked hard and overcame my fear of failure.
Finally, I was able to study well and clear CAT that year and got admission into IMI, New Delhi
which is one of the best private B-Schools in the country.
There has been a huge change in my personality even since this incident. I have become more
confident, I don’t fear taking risks and I have started believing in myself more than ever before.
